Hi Newton neighbors,
I&rsquo;m a local writer and certified mindfulness teacher, and I publish a free biweekly Substack newsletter called Learning to be Here.
It features short personal essays, poetry, and recorded meditations designed to help us slow down and find sanctuary in everyday life. This week, I&rsquo;m writing about labyrinths and how walking rocks us back into ourselves.
If you&rsquo;d like a thoughtful read in your inbox every other Sunday, you&rsquo;re so welcome to subscribe for free: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/search?q=https://bamonaghan.substack.com/&amp;authuser=1" rel="noopener nofollow">https://bamonaghan.substack.com/</a>
Best,

Local mindfulness writer invites you to Learning to be Here

We are inviting healthy female teens between the ages of 13-15 to participate in a research study. Teens can earn up to $594 if they qualify and receive a picture of their&nbsp;brain. Researchers at McLean Hospital are investigating how stress may influence mood and brain activity. Teens will answer questions about their thoughts and feelings. Teens will&nbsp;also undergo an fMRI brain scan. Teens will also be asked to fill out very brief surveys on their smartphone and to wear a smartwatch that tracks their heart rate, skin&nbsp;conductance, physical activity (i.e., step count), and sleep patterns. Parent permission is required if under 18 years of age. If you are interested, please fill out our survey: <a href="https://redcap.link/stressdynamics" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">redcap.link/stressdynamics </a>or contact us at (617) 855-4173 or via email <a href="mailto:teenbrain@mclean.harvard.edu" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">teenbrain@mclean.harvard.edu</a>.
